The Equalizer

Being a fan of the original series, I was interested to see how Denzel Washington would take on the role of Robert McCall.

He was fantastic. I think the film maker's overdid the use of slow motion and there were some crazy scenes where Denzel's eye seemed to make more of an appearance than it should have ... but overall, a great adult film. Violent, gory but rooted in real life (a retired guy being drawn into the action slowly and not suddenly propelled into a situation, that would have been so contrived)

Denzel was like a psychotic handyman at parts and I loved the way he made such creative choices for weapons. Working in a hardware store was the ideal setting for the movie's climax and I'm so glad they didn't disappoint.

Really, really enjoyed this one.
